Make up exercises, disciple, have you really mastered them?

Chapter 9: Don’t mention being a teacher to anyone

"Ah."

Li Xuan nodded, feeling the need to hit his apprentice, how could he forget to cook?

It’s not good to have your mind full of cultivation.

"Combine work with rest, don't over-train, do you understand?"

Li Xuan said seriously.

Xu Yan looked ashamed when he heard this, "Yes, Master, this disciple must keep it in mind!"

I was very moved in my heart: "Master is afraid of me, so he blindly holds on to death, which will cause harm to his body. That's right, although the key is persistence, it must also be done step by step. I have just started bone refining. If I hold on to death, I am afraid that problems may easily occur! "

"You have to understand that persistence is also important. Relax and relax, combine work and rest. Only by properly relaxing your mind can you practice more efficiently and gain more insights!"

Li Xuandun taught.

"Disciple understands and will never make this mistake again!"

Xu Yan said respectfully.

"Sure enough, if you hold on blindly, it is easy to cause problems. You must relax your mind properly, otherwise it will be like a string, stretched too tightly for too long, and it will easily break!"

Xu Yan had an instant understanding in his heart.

"Go!"

Li Xuan waved his hand and asked Xu Yan to cook.

"This disciple, I do listen to the instructions, but unfortunately I am not a real expert, and the cultivation method is also made up, so persistence is useless!"

I sighed again in my heart, but since I have been cheated, I can only continue to fool around.

……

After Xu Yan entered the bone refinement, whenever the qi and blood penetrated further into the bones and started to refine the bones, there would be a feeling of sand rubbing against the bones.

But Xu Yan didn't continue to persevere, as soon as he could no longer hold on, he would stop his work and do other things to relax his mind.

Five days later.

Xu Yan, who was practicing, only felt the qi and blood tremble, and the bones all over his body vibrated, and when the qi and blood penetrated into the bones, he felt a smooth feeling.

The whole person felt a sense of becoming stronger, and his energy and blood also improved accordingly.

"Finally, I have started to refine bones."

Xu Yan was very excited. After five days of painstaking practice, he finally completed the first stage of bone refining.

The subsequent bone refining will be much smoother, and there will be no painful feelings of those ants biting and sand rubbing.

Only in the initial stage of refining bones into copper will the painful feeling appear again.

"I am currently in the introductory stage of refining my bones into iron, but now that I have started, the next tempering will be easier until my bones are transformed into copper."

Xu Yan was very excited. As long as he no longer felt the pain during tempering, he would be able to persist longer and spend more time practicing.

"It's been almost a month since I came out. Now that I've started refining bones, I'm so strong that I'm not afraid of a hundred people besieging me with my bare hands."

"It's time to go back. The apprenticeship ceremony I gave to Master turned out to be used for my practice. I should also buy some rare medicinal materials and prepare another apprenticeship ceremony for Master."

Xu Yan felt that although the master didn't care about his apprenticeship ceremony, as a disciple, how could he ignore the ceremony of respecting the teacher?

"With Master's level, rare treasures and medicines will never be taken seriously. After all, treasures and medicines in the eyes of ordinary people are just mundane things. What kind of apprenticeship ceremony should I prepare?"

Xu Yan fell into deep thought.

Suddenly he slapped his head: "Why am I so stupid, Master doesn't care about rare treasures at all, I just need to bring my mind, playthings like gold and jade, decorate Master's house, Master should like it."

After thinking about it, Xu Yan felt relaxed.

"Go outside and catch a hare, catch a fish in the stream, and cook a hearty meal for Master before you leave."

Xu Yan finished his work and left the village to prepare ingredients.

……

Looking at the sumptuous dining table, Li Xuan looked satisfied, this apprentice is good!

The food is getting more and more delicious, and the dishes are more and more.

"Master, it's been nearly a month since I came out. I want to go home."

After the meal, Xu Yan said.

Li Xuan's heart skipped a beat: "After this kid went back, didn't I expose me when he talked about his apprenticeship? He is not very smart. His parents and family members are not so bad at all, right?"

But if Xu Yan is not allowed to go home, it is unjustifiable, and it will arouse Xu Yan's suspicion.

After pondering for a while, Li Xuan said: "It's fine to go back, but as a teacher, I want to tell you that you must not disclose the matter of cultivation to anyone, including your parents, before you start your cultivation. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Master, this disciple will never mention anything related to cultivation to others!"

Xu Yan was startled, and immediately made a solemn promise.

"I like to be quiet as a teacher. I like to be low-key and don't like to be public. Although I have accepted you as an apprentice, I can't mention being a teacher before I get started. I hope you can understand!"

Li Xuan said with a serious expression.

"Yes, Master, the disciple will never mention you at all before entering the sect!"

Xu Yan assured respectfully.

"If I haven't started, it means I have no connection with the master. The master made an exception and accepted me as a disciple. If I can't get started, it will greatly ruin the master's reputation. As a disciple, I should protect the master's reputation first!"

Xu Yan felt a little ashamed, as his talent was still a bit lacking.

If you are unable to get started and your master's prestige is reduced, wouldn't it mean that your master will be laughed at by others?

As a disciple, you should take the master’s honor, disgrace, and reputation as your top priority!

Li Xuan intended to avoid exposing himself in advance, but was found out, so he told Xu Yan not to mention himself, let alone anything about cultivation.

Unknown to him, Xu Yan was doing some self-reflection.

"My teacher naturally trusts you. You should go back early and pay attention to safety on the road."

Li Xuan's expression softened and he reminded: "You need to pass through the Thirty Miles of Evil Forest to get here. There are tigers and ferocious beasts in it. You should pay more attention to avoid getting hurt."

The Evil Forest is too dangerous. If Xu Yan is alone, if he encounters a tiger or a beast, he may not survive.

Li Xuan could only remind him that as for whether he could pass through safely, it all depended on Xu Yan's luck.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan knelt down with a puff, kowtowed three times respectfully, and said: "Master, this disciple will be here for six or seven days, or eleven or two days, and he will definitely come back to serve you!"

"Have a heart!"

Seeing Xu Yan being so respectful, respectful of his teacher, and full of filial piety, Li Xuan was also a little moved.

"How can you deceive some feelings out of this lie? Alas, as expected, I am not a qualified liar. This is all forced!"

Li Xuan felt helpless in his heart.

He really didn't want to lie to others. It was all because of Xu Yan's bad brain that he insisted on being deceived in a hurry, and the apprenticeship ceremony he gave him was too much!

Xu Yan left.

Li Xuan stood on the hillside at the entrance of the village, looking at Xu Yan's retreating figure with a complicated expression.

"I hope he can pass through the Evil Forest safely. This silly boy... ugh!"

Sighing, until Xu Yan's figure disappeared from sight, Li Xuan returned to his residence.

Lying on the chair under the big tree, I suddenly felt a little... lonely!

"grass!"

"I'm used to having apprentices to take care of me, but suddenly I'm all alone again. I feel uncomfortable no matter what!"

Li Xuan slapped his face and couldn't help but swear.
